Granite platforms are widely used in laboratories and industrial testing environments for their high precision and flatness, making them an ideal reference workbench. However, over time, minor surface irregularities or damage may develop, affecting testing accuracy. How to smooth granite work surfaces and extend their lifespan is a key concern for every precision testing engineer.
Common causes of granite platform surface irregularities include uneven support due to platform movement or minor collisions caused by improper operation. For movable platforms, precise leveling using a support frame and a level can restore their reference function without the need for complex grinding. During leveling, ensure that the platform is perfectly level to ensure measurement accuracy.
For dents or damage caused by collisions, different treatment options are required depending on the damage. Shallow dents, few in number and located close to the edge, can be avoided during use and continued. Deep dents or those located in critical locations require re-grinding and polishing to restore the surface. Severely damaged granite platforms can be repaired by the manufacturer or returned to the factory for repair.
During daily use, protecting granite measuring tools and platforms is particularly important. Before use, wipe the measuring tool and workpiece to ensure the surface is free of dust and particles to prevent wear on the platform. Handle the measuring tool and workpiece with care during measurement, avoiding bumps or knocks to prevent dents and chipping. While granite measuring tools and platforms are durable and non-magnetic, good handling habits and routine maintenance are key to extending their lifespan. Promptly wiping and keeping them clean and flat after use will ensure long-term high-precision performance.
Through scientific leveling and standardized operation, granite platforms not only maintain long-term stable accuracy but also deliver optimal performance in a variety of industrial testing and experimental environments, truly maximizing the value of the equipment.
